Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

For me EPL experience is a must! Not only for our new manager but any additions on the playing front too!
Therefore realistically there is (for me) only one candidate. Pochettino!

Realistically equates to DL paying out, or more to the point, not paying out, to prize Martinez away from Everton or DL willing to pay Ancelotti's wages. Should he become available. Other than the 3 mentioned, who else (with PL)
experience would you (realistically) choose? For fuck sake,no one say Gullit!

COYS!!

Martinez or Ancelotti?! :kaboullol:

We have absolutely no chance with either, dead on 0%. Seriously there's no point throwing these names around. We need to find the next big manager, so De Boer or Pochettino and hope they turn into a world class manager with us as opposed to buying a world class one.

I do not think you can ever say no chance when it comes to the EPL. Granted, very, very little chance! That is why my post said realistically Pochettino.

Southampton set for Pochettino talks - executive director Les Reed
Play media
Southampton executive director Les Reed tells BBC Late Kick Off South, South West and West the club will sit down with manager Mauricio Pochettino after Sunday's final Premier League fixture to discuss his future.
"Mauricio has made it clear as soon as Sunday's game is out of the way we will sit down and continue the discussions we will be having," said Reed.
"He wanted to achieve the record points total and focus on the games and nothing else.
"This is one of the issues of being successful, everyone is attracting attention."
Reed also again dismissed speculation surrounding the future of star players Luke Shaw and Adam Lallana.
"It's been very easy because none of it is true, there are no deals done and no deals being discussed," he said.
"I'm not saying it's not going to happen, but at the moment nothing is being discussed."
 
Some of the papers are syaing he is our number 1 man. Like him, plays attacking structured football and has done well in the prem something which few of our past managers can claim, would be happy if he came.

If you`d posted this before Xmas I would have disagreed. Now however, I am firmly in the ABFS club. (Anyone But Fucking Sherwood.) Right now, Pochetinno would be a Godsend.

I would be very happy if he did come to us, they have played some fantastic football at times this season and the thought of him applying his style of football to our squad is quite exciting.

He seems to get a lot of stick for using an interpreter in his interviews etc. but I quite like that he would rather get his point across properly, without being misconstrued or open to negative misinterpretation.

...Hell we've probably missed a trick there - Tim could do with a fucking interpreter!

With Levy who knows. Levy reminds me of Gordon Brown, intelligent and a great tacticians but terrible at long term planning. Levy looks only at the short term bottom line buy and sell. We started this season with an idiot at left back, and our only other one we loaned out, the season before we had almost no strikers.

It's as if there is no real plan as to what our first 11 and our sqaud should look like and players are bought and sold just when the market rate is good. Levy also seems not to be able to deal with longer term planning in relation to managers either, everything is a short term fix, Gordon Brown style.

Levy really should not be our chairman but our main lawyer, making the deals dealing with the here and now.
 
Mauricio Pochettino: Southampton manager coy on future
Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino says he will seek answers from the new board over the direction of the club before committing his future.
Argentine Pochettino has one year left on his contract at St Mary's and has been linked with a move to Tottenham.
The 42-year-old is set to discuss his future at the end of the season.
"It's up to the board to discuss with me the new project that will be in place for next season," Pochettino told BBC South Today.
"It's not up to me to decide when those talks will happen."
Southampton are coming to the end of a five-year project put in place by former executive chairman Nicola Cortese when the club came out of administration.

Southampton set for Pochettino talks
Pochettino must now decide whether or not to lead the club into the next phase of its development, along with new chairman Ralph Krueger and chief executive Gareth Rogers.
"This Sunday when the season ends against Manchester United a project of five years will have come to an end," he said.
"The club overall needs to explain to me what this new project is going to consist of and how it is going to start next season."
When pressed on rumours linking him with a move elsewhere, the former Espanyol manager did little to ease fans' fears.
"I am not the person to be talking about that," he said. "There is an owner of the club, there is a chairman of the club and I am just a football manager.
"There is nothing to decide. I have one more year on my contract and I have not spoken about it. I don't really get it because it hasn't come from me, it's come from outside that these rumours are propagated.
"I think that will be spoken about in the future - I don't think it will be wise for us to get ahead of ourselves. Right now, we need to focus on the amazing season we have had and the supporters need to congratulate the players for the amazing season they have had."
He added: "I don't think you can live in fear of the future. I think that what is important right now is to enjoy this moment. To enjoy the present and this amazing season we have had.
"I think Sunday is a very good chance to create an amazing atmosphere and in the future, things will be spoken about."
 
Ffs, last year when i said i wantsss pochettione, errybody threw rocks. Now i see there has been some changes.
Same thing w bony. :D
 
Realistically speaking, should we really be that impressed by Potch?

His record at Espanyol was 32% of wins, had some mid table finishes after being just outside relegation, then was sacked with the team at the bottom of the league. Like a poor man's Ramos.

At Southampton, despite our horrific football, we've beaten Southampton twice and they've not had a decent cup run under the guy in either season. His win rate is still in the 30's

Am I missing something?
 
His record is worse than AVB's on every level - why would people want to go through that all over again?

Baffling

People seem to want pretty football coupled with Prem experience and youth utilization, I get that. But de Boer offers good football, top notch youth utilization, an excellent winning record (even against Champs League big boys with mostly kids and constantly losing his best players), and doesn't have the negative traits that turned off the board to AVB. I do not understand why Poch is apparently the board's favorite atm.
 
He should take Lallana, Jay Rodriguez, Ward Prowse and Shaw with him. Oh and Chambers would be nice, too.
Crazy what squad we'd have if we fusioned with Soton ;)
Just jokin' (partially ;) ), Pochettino is a fine manager with a nice idea how to play good football (actually the fact that he has an advanced idea how to play football makes him one of the best candidates).
